Kimberly heard the front door slam but thought nothing of it until she heard angry voices coming from the lair. She set down her novel and went to investigate. As she neared the bottom stair she recognized two of the voices as belonging to Conner and Ethan.
"Give it back," she head Ethan yell at the jock.
There was a heavy thud and a shriek from the blue ranger as Conner started laughing.
"Conner," said Ethan with his trademark whine. "You broke it!"
"Uh, no I didn't…"
"Are you really surprised Ethan? I mean you can't let Conner hold anything unless you want it broken…or seriously maimed."
"Hey! Stop it, it was an accident alright," said Conner defensively. "Besides, they said Dr. O was gonna be fine. You want even be able to see the scar when he gets the stitches out!"
"Yeah, but it's kinda the fact that he had to have them in the first place," said Trent from the corner of the room.
Conner threw the artist a death glare but soon turned his attention back to Ethan. "Don't worry dude, I'm sure you can fix it by tomorrow, I mean that's what you genius's do. Fix stuff"
Ethan snorted. "I'm going to take that as a complement and not as the insult you meant it to be."
"Whatever dude," said Conner rolling his eyes.
"Hey, check this out you guys."
Trent was standing at the computer staring at a folder full of papers.
"What is it?"
"I don't know it looks said Conner, "just what we need."
"No, you have to read these, they are hilarious! They are rules for the power rangers…you don't think Dr. O is gonna make us follow them do you? Guys?"
Kimberly smiled as she watched the young rangers reading through Tommy's list.
"Hey, "she said walking into the room.
"Hey," said Kira. "Have you read this? It's so funny."
"Yeah…"
"Oh I have a great idea. Why don't we help Dr. O out and give him some more rules?"
"You know, I think that's a great idea," said Kimberly. "You can add some from that list there." She pointed to another manila envelope that had not been opened yet. "They are from some of the old gang, but feel free to add some of your own rules too."
Conner smirked at his fellow teammates, "this is gonna be fun."
121. So what if she's a big pop star diva? You have the real talent! (Cheer up Kira, you'll make it!)
122. When making a SECRET video about your life as a power ranger please make sure you put it AWAY after you finish editing it. (Right Tommy?)
123. Its not the fall that kills you it's whoever lands on top of you.
124. Ethan, give Conner his soccer ball back, he's beginning to freak out.
125. Note: Although the term "You break it you bought it" does not apply when in a giant robot battle, try to destroy as little public property as you can, taxes are high enough already!
126. Ok, green may not be the best color, but at least I have a blaster and less responsibility.
127. His dumbass, girl chasing bravado is really a cover-up; yes he really likes you if you'd give him a chance. (Kira and Conner!)
128. I am not Luke and you are not my father! (You people just think you're so funny don't you?)
129. If you're really curious about how big the fan base is, check out fanfiction sites. (-Innocent whistle-)
130. Do not argue with your talking, enchanted saber during a zord battle. You'll just get your ass kicked.
131. If you're undercover at a villains' meeting, just drink the damn lava juice! (Andros!)
132. "Kamehameha" and "Big Bang Attack" are not phrases to be use when firing a blaster! (Anime marathons are now banned before battles!)
133. Do NOT give Conner shiny objects, he's distracted enough already!
134. Don't be rude to the Ninjetti master with the "Mighty Mouse" voice, especially when you need new powers.
135. Make sure to ask your mentor if there's someone even stronger than the current villain you're fighting on their way (thanks for no warning about Zedd, Zordon!)
136. We are not wimps, but if we have flu we reserve the right to sleep for a few days.
137. Don't play with your trading cards at school, chances are the evil principle will confiscate them and use them against you! (ETHAN!)
138. The answer to an arrogant green ranger is not "sick 'em Cujo!" (Joel had to have thirty stitches in his leg…)
139. If the monsters are suddenly good and the Power Rangers are evil then you've just landed into your own personal Alternate Universe! (Tori...)
140. Rare and exotic plants do not make good gifts, especially when the bad guys get their hands on them… (Kimberly still doesn't like to talk about 'the plant episode' from high school.)
Kimberly looked up from her novel in time to see Conner throw his soccer ball at Ethan, "I'm not that easily distracted!"
"Are too!"
"Am not." Conner picked up the ball and threw it at Trent as he joined Ethan's side, but Trent ducked and the ball flew through the door and hit Tommy in the face as he rounded the corner.
"Uh…sorry Dr. O. I…."
"Conner, get out of my house, and don't come back for a very long time."
"Actually, we were just leaving anyway…"
Tommy shook his head, "good."
Picking up his ball from the floor at Tommy's feet Conner hurried after the retreating backs of his friends.
Kimberly put her book in front of her face to keep her smile hidden, but Tommy knew she was laughing at him.
"It's no funny," he said as he picked up the paper his students had just been pouring over. "Conner is a menace to society."
"No, you're just an accident waiting for a place to happen," said Kimberly without looking up from her reading.
Tommy sat in the computer chair and glared at her. "Well, at least I don't faint every time something spectacular happens."
Kim playfully threw her book at him, "I haven't fainted in years Oliver!"
Reviews are love!
